About This Home

As of November 2017

Very private country location, but only 10 minutes to town. Solid wall, square cut, log home at the end of a country road high on a hill. Spectacular Winter views of New Hampshire. Totally private in Summer. Great southern exposure. Open floor plan, country kitchen with sun filled skylights. Oak, ash and cherry wood floors. A wood stove sits on a beautiful piece of unusual Brazilian marble. A large rec-room in the basement adds extra useful space, could be used as a home office. A very convenient room specifically for wood storage is right off the Living room. A first floor master suite has a marble tiled bath,with radiant floor heating, and double closets. The roof was completely refurbished last year. A 42'x28' garage/barn with space for three vehicles and a great open space upstairs for a studio, workshop or storage. This is a move in ready property.
